Overview
Users need the ability to scan QR codes when adding parts to PM templates or tasks in the web portal. This would replicate the mobile app’s functionality and allow faster, more accurate part selection directly from the desktop environment.
Current Limitations
• The web portal currently requires manual part searches when adding parts.
• No option exists to scan a QR code using a connected scanner or device camera.
• This prevents users from leveraging QR code labels already applied to parts.
General Example
A maintenance planner updating a PM template on the web must manually search and select each part, even though the parts have QR code labels. This adds unnecessary time and effort compared to scanning on mobile.
Requested Enhancements
- Add a “Scan QR Code” button in the part search/add interface on the web portal.
- Support input from connected barcode scanners or built-in device cameras.
- Auto-populate the part field based on the scanned QR code data.
- Maintain parity with mobile functionality for a consistent user experience.
Business Value
• Significantly reduces time spent adding parts in PM templates or tasks.
• Improves data accuracy by minimizing manual search errors.
• Enables use of existing QR-labeled inventory across platforms.
• Supports a faster, more efficient workflow for planners and technicians.
